Java runs at 90% the speed of C for most common benchmarks.

It uses 50x the RAM to do so. But you're dead wrong to think java is slow.

The only reason physics game engines are written in C++ is because physics game engines are written in C++.

It's not 90%, more of several times slower: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

They are written in C++ because of latency requirements which are nearly impossible in GCed language.

From what I know, the major C++ engines (Unity, Unreal) have GC in them. Using GC does not automatically mean that latency is out the window.

You missed the jk (joking part) didn't you. Only Java apps I use are jdownloader and ikvm apps for servers...and well, they are slow...

Have you ever used any service from AWS? Then you were using Java.
